I finally got the housing situation all straightened out. I am living with the girl in the office next to mine, Robin, and her aptmate Ashley (not to be confused with my hs friends Robin and Ashley S). They have a sweet 3/2 in North Campus 7 min walking distance from the engineering building. It's a condo around 31st and Duval that Ashley's ( Read more... )

When my sister was teaching, a girl started singing Snap Ya Fingers by Lil John and the boy across the table was sort of dancing to it(which in itself is kinda funny because she taught kindergarteners).

So I've looked at all the places. The couple was really awesome. They were wonderful and nice and laid back. Only problem, they found someone already. If that falls through though they'll give me a ring. I also might call them next weekend to hang out. They're new to Austin and don't know a lot of people ( Read more... )

I love my sister! :D ( Read more... )

ok so this will be the first of probably a few entries on Asia. So we get to Taipei and spend 2 nights there in a church "hostel". By hostel I really mean hotel but was called a hostel. It was really nice except that the beds were about as hard the floor (which all floors there are tiles because it's so dirty). At this point it's all bottled ( Read more... )
